Please quote the RMS ratings of your speakers/ amp (and model numbers is possible) Max power ratings mean naff all TBH.

you probablies could power hem but the speakers only put out 28 rms lol

you would have to leave the gain on the amp to about less than half way, tbh if i wa you id get rid of them speakers and but some components :y:

coaxials are all in one, ie tweeter and mid, tbh there not that good imo

components consist of a seperate set up ie seperate tweeter and mid and they use a crossover to put out different frequencis to the mid and tweeter, they will sound a load better tust me :y:

Its the crossover mate.

All component speakers have them.

Basically it send the bass to the woofer and the highs to the tweeters.

They are adjustable as well, so you can set it how you like.:y:
